Deciduous trees on the kindergarten playground |
Secondary abstract: |
Science is an interesting field for children, since by nature they are scientists always discovering new things, especially the ones surrounding them and with which they have a direct contact. Children find deciduous trees interesting because they change throughout the seasons. Thus, we can observe the changing treetops, branches, blossoms, fruit and with years becoming more thick and cracked trunks.
In the first part of the thesis, that is in the theoretical part, I introduced the constructivist approach to teaching and some general characteristics of the deciduous trees: their habitat, structure and types. The second part of the thesis consists of empirical research. I was interested in how much city children know deciduous trees and what is their perception of them. I decided to do the research because this field is badly researched among children and there are not many existing sources on this topic. In the third part I introduced activities and analyses which I carried out with nursery school children and how much they contributed to their knowledge. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Naravoslovje je za otroke zanimivo področje, saj so po naravi raziskovalci, ki radi odkrivajo nove stvari, še posebej tiste, ki jih obdajajo in s katerimi imajo konkreten stik. Listavci so za otroke zanimivi, saj se spreminjajo skozi letne čase, torej lahko opazujemo spreminjajočo se krošnjo, veje, cvetove, plodove ter deblo, ki se z leti debeli in razpoka.
V teoretičnem delu diplomske naloge, sem predstavila konstruktivistični pristop k poučevanju in nekaj splošnih značilnosti listavcev, kot so življenjski prostor, zgradba in vrste listavcev. Drugi del diplomske naloge predstavlja empirična raziskava, in sicer koliko otroci v mestu poznajo listnata drevesa in kakšne predstave imajo o njih. Za raziskavo sem se odločila, ker je to področje med otroki slabo raziskano in ne obstaja dosti virov na to temo. V tretjem delu sem predstavila dejavnosti in analize, ki sem jih izvajala z otroki v vrtcu, in koliko so le-te vplivale na znanje predšolskih otrok. |
